Exactly. Or, I should say that your comments provoke the following thoughts.

Everyday there seems to be a new challenge to our moral choices.

What does this proposition mean- The sacred vs. the object?

This is what I have learned:

At the center of the Labyrinth sits the beast. But there is a way out.

History demands a horizon on which the hopes of every soul seeks out a purpose. For those who are drawn to their natures or to questions regarding the entelechy of their natures, a light silhouettes a vision or apperception of meaning and suffering. It is on that horizon where a center point of demarcation, a cross is at its center, and is the heart of human intuition, from that focal point we can understand the rubric of time in which the slave becomes free, in which the animal becomes human, and in which the damned becomes saved.

Well, I sound like a pseudo-intellectual, sorry for that, but these questions disturb me greatly.

Not terribly off the mark ~ the basic understanding delivered in the Bible is that men can overcome whatever it is that drives them to do evil ~ and it's better to be righteous ~ and in control of yourself to the degree you can do so ~ than to be unrighteous ~ and not in control.

Jesus added to our understanding of human existence by forcing the demons out of a man ~ and then sending them to a bunch of pigs who then ran into the sea to their own destruction. This was in His 'first to the Jews' part of His mission ~ some argue, with evidence, that this took place in Spain.

That clarified the question of what about the people who can never achieve control ~ and the answer is without Jesus' power, they can't.

That's an incredible adjustment of Biblical teachings. Those who ponder the event know this is the way to address genetically controlled mental illness ~ not as a moral failing, but something to be grasped, and tossed out ~ in some manner.

God picks his prophets in His own way and in His own time. The last couple of months have been very blessed for humanity. The discovery of the enzyme that turns off in the 'adult brain', and the discovery that schizophrenia and 5 other conditions are genetically related, and caused, are simply mind boggling.

We have a neighbor girl who just wrapped up medical school at johns Hopkins and is moving on to complete a doctorate at I believe she said Harvard. She was going to research neuron activity, and this popped up, and she was ON FIRE because for the first time in human history we may well be able to actually do something meaningful for people with schizophrenia ~ this has been a revelation
